Using the method of system theory the different building blocks of Good organizational design - the strategy, the structure, the boundaries, and the governance of organizations- are analyzed by highlighting the latest thinking on organizations from different academic disciplines. The interdependencies between these building blocks are emphasised, and a blueprint for an efficient organizational design is sketched.
